“It was a hand knife that stuck in my hand,” she said. “And you can also sting something. He used one of those.”
KPRC said the sisters went to a neighbor’s house for help and found bloody footprints.
“They were seriously injured. They had deep lacerations down their forearms,” said Eric Taylor, another neighbor.
“She kept saying her brother did it. Her brother did it. He’s in the house. He went into the house,” Bailey continued.
